Re: [tied] Romanian Loan in OCS?

phonetic form of that in very early Slavic was *[gardu]; /grad/ is the
modern reflex of the word in southern Slavic).

       Hello,

   So, Albanian, Romanian, Germanic and Baltic languages are more related to early Slavic than modern Slavic languages are?
> Word HELMAZ means HELMET. Prussians have SALMAS for HELMET.
This is an early loan from Germanic into Slavic and then from Slavic
into Baltic. The direction of the borrowing can easily be demonstrated:
The characteristic palatalisation of the initial consonant and the
retraction of the vowel could only have taken place in the Slavic
intermediary: *xelmaz > *s^elmU > *s^olmU (cf. Pol. szl/om). *s^olmU was
borrowed into the Baltic languages as *s^almas, with the normal phonemic
substitutions.

   Do anybody can explain to me, what meaning and origin is of these placenames, located in Hungary: Szalmas, Szarvas, Dabas, Bene, Gava, Gelenes, Pilis, Szepes and Vertes?

   Thank You beforehand.
